    We love this game! My son is obsessed with the Allstars, court options, matchups, and his language of skills and skills at the game has grown exorbitantly. You can even play WNBA I should have led this review with that! I have only enjoyed playing a handful of video games, even being around gaming and it’s been well over 17 years since I’ve had the urge to. But this game has been so much fun for my son and I. I’ve learned about the teams and players through my sons nonstop fact and stat sharing more than I wanted. Really fun good game that’s as easy and advanced as you make it with practice especially.

    Great game! Graphics seemingly get better with each version. Game play is good, although understanding how use the controls can be daunting if you are somewhat new to the game. But with a little practice you can get up to speed pretty quick. Lot's of fun once you learn how to play.

    Only played this for a few minutes, but this is an awesome game. The graphics are unbelieve able. I don't like the Micro transactions or the pay to play. So I don't pay, I just play the game and use what come with it.

    Sweet game. Similar to the rest but that's how sports games work. Glad they have the WNBA in there honestly. I love the NBA and the Minnesota Lynx, so it's kind of cool to have that added feature.

    This game is 4 stars only because 1.) I liked the shooting in the prior games better and 2.) I got a chance to see this on the next generation consoles on a Full 4K TV... there is definitely a difference in graphics and gameplay on the Xbox One vs Next gen consoles! the graphics are still good on this

    This game looks similar to last year with a very short but good mycareer story. They changed few things, the new shoot meter is ok if you aren't playing online. I mean you can easy shoot with the right stick but online you have no time to see the meter and adjust it, I hope they fix that. Otherwise you are mostly shooting blind with memory muscle. I like the new ray traced reflections in the courts of myteam triple threat, that's where it looks better than last year. I don't mean this one is bad actually I like it more than last year, it's just it felt less worked all around. The gameplay is polished, a little bit harder in certain modes, but overall a great game to just chill or play with folks
